You're correct on ADL BDL. But you opened the door. This thread is a prime example of going to a discount store to buy a discount hunting rifle. There are also a lot of people on this thread that have held or handled these new Remingtons in the store and a few that have actually have used them so the jury is still out. But you get what you pay for. Or put on layaway, lol. The life expectancy in the field for these cheap "whole" hunting rifles is seasons, which can total up to days or weeks but not a year. And I'm not just referring to Remington. Like I said in my post you can go that route and get lucky on the receiver. But I didn't and won't on whole cheap Remington or Savage rifles. Been there and done that. The better argument is there are now better actions based on the M700. So, why buy a stock Remington receiver like I did? But if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing because it worked. If it didn't I wouldn't have posted a source for them along with my experience with one. Your suggestion to buy a $550 rifle and go through all the trouble of replacing everything just for the receiver only to find out it isn't true is throwing the dice and losing. But if your happy with a 1 moa rifle than knock yourself out, lol. This is a long distance forum. Go be poor somewhere else, lol. For Savage I also got my actions from NSS. There is a reason these sort of vendors stay in business with good reputations.
They would have beat me even harder.
